Hi all,
having my peak4 5 m² since a few months (a friend who has 3 peaks now convinced me)...
No regrets at all... such a sweet kite on a foil... incredible...
incredible drift, no fighting with slack lines or being pulled from the board when the board accelerates on a wave...
Here's some footage from last week...

happy kiting to all !

Nice
Amazed how you can use the 5 m2 in this much wind apparently without flapping, as even from 15 knots I go down to a 4 m2 as my 5 is too big, being medium weight 78 kg.
You ride it in 15-19 knots, where I would be happy with 4 and then 3 m2 (18-19 knots is 3 m2 wind for me).
Yes, SUCH a sweet kite for carving around having fun

so...if national distributors are currently slashing peak4 prices and not replacing inventory...
..does that mean the appearance of a peak 5 is.... or might be...imminent?

I got 150euro discount on a new peak4 from a local dealer in Europe too, didn't have to haggle much he offered it. So could be.

i did not know that..
interesting.. they have still have the soul2, VMG2.. .and every other flysurfer kite.
and iirc, they were one of (if not) the 1st in north america to do demo days and then release the flysurfer new kites.
was there a reason they stopped selling flysurfer?
